New three month thread and today is the final episode of the first season of The Bridge (US edition). It's been a weird, fun, dark ride and I'm looking forward to more next season.

SHIELD felt a lot more internally consistent this week, and it felt a little more like something with a connection to the MCU. It's still on probation with me, but on the other hand, I still want it ...
want it to be good, so I'll stick around unless and until that goes away.

It is a pretty cool bus, though.

I mean... It's just super low rent isn't it? If you lower your expectations to NCIS/Castle/CSI levels, then it's totally fine. Middle of the road, crowd pleasing, take it or leave it glossy crap. I am hoping, as it is Whedon curated, that the season arc will be more satisfying than these early character/world establishing episodes which are pretty weak sauce. I'll probably give it a season, although I'm not gagging for the next episode by any means.

"Low Winter Sun". I think the show finally got better by the last two episodes, but as hard as it tries to be "The Wire", it just falls way short (I know, it's unfair to compare most shows to The Wire). I like both Mark Strong and Lennie James as actors, but not so much in this. Most of the time their characters are just pacing and glaring at each other like a pair of wild dogs. Not that interesting. If it gets another season, I might check it out to see if it gets any better.]]>

The second episode deals very maturely with the hot-neighbour-moves-in premise which has been SO over-used in Sitcoms, but always in such a way that I want to murder everyone involved. Everyone in this episode come out looking like normal adults making mistakes in a mostly believable and non-infuriating way. That's what hooked me.

Limitless should be a TV show since it came out - it reads much better as a pilot for a wide-reaching conspiracy show than a stand-alone film.

As for the remake of one of my childhood favorites by a teen-skewed US network... the remake of The Tomorrow People didn't actually suck.

I was pleased how much of the original set-up (TIM, the block against killing, Saps) was retained, and beyond the CW glitz, the bones of an interesting take on the generational/species conflict are there. I don't even mind the H.Superior doing martial arts (and I love the combat teleporting).

But what I really miss is Breaking Out being terrifying. That was the core of the show, and especially the original pilot. Breaking Out was agony, and dropped the thoughts of everyone in your vicinity into your head, wholesale. Amusing teleport issues really don't measure up to that.

Not sure about one particular twist...

Stephen going undercover with Jedekiah's H. Superior-hunting Ultras

...but I can see how that might work if handled cleverly.

Short form - if The CW makes this show anywhere near as good as the surprisingly effective Arrow, it could work.]]>

Agents of SHIELD reminds me of, and my conclusion is: late 90s Tomb Raider knock-off Relic Hunter. I guess you could call it "cheap and cheerful"; it seems like a throwback to a time when network TV was less ambitious. These days, even shows that aren't trying to be "quality TV" usually at least go all-out with whatever it is they are trying to be, as with the straight-faced angst of a Vampire Diaries or the absurd commitment to melodrama of Revenge.

I don't necessarily object to cheap and cheerful (I have a soft spot for Relic Hunter as I watched a bunch of it on French TV, where it was the only thing simple enough for my limited French language skills to grasp); it seems out of place on contemporary TV, although it is somewhat of a piece with the film, which also felt pretty cheap and cheerful (even if it took a lot of money to look that cheap).]]>

We are told that it's a bad time for action adventure shows on T.V. now and that comedy is what CN wants to push. Teen Titans Go! is more of a comedy than a action adventure show and does well for CN so that's why they are behind that show. My guess is that once the 3 year contract for DC Nation is up, (which is soon), you won't be seeing as much DC animated stuff on T.V. CN and Warner Animation have never really gotten along for a myriad of reasons. One of them being that CN makes no money on toy sales from DC animated stuff, so there is no real incentive for them to promote our stuff. They rather put that energy to promoting Ben 10 where they make money on the toy sales.

"At this point I'm not sure why anyone would want to work for WB's TV animation studio, since this always happens."

Thankfully, the DTVs are doing well enough for Warner Home Video to continue giving us money to make more. CN has no control of the DTVs.]]>

Agents of SHIELD has been problematic for me. The last few episodes had been turning into a yawnfest called the Skye & Ward Show plus Coulson. The recent episode seemed headed the same way at first. But thanks to the callback to the pilot's Big Bad, several bits of Melinda May badassery, and even a sweet Simmons moment, it prompted renewed interest.

But the series I'm interested in seeing this week comes from France, and starts showing on Halloween. Ladies and gents, this is The Returned.]]>

So, is Mitt Romney the president in the dimension where you're watching this show? Because here, Nicole Beharie is knocking it out of the park pretty much every week along with Tom Mison.

I'd previously dropped AHS: Coven after the third episode, which involved necrophilic incest and the Precious Girl having what can best be described as consensual rape with the Minotaur guy. I like some freaky in my shows, but freaky for the sake of freaky is just porn. And porn is kind of dull.

But like the right-wing religious nuts on some shows that have a change of perspective that gives them a sense of tolerance and compassion, I went back to the show last night to give it another chance. And I saw the

tongueless butler in a woman's nighty try to pull Madison's corpse out of the chest in which he'd stored it so he could dance with/molest it, at which point one of the corpse's arms snapped off.

So yeah, burn in hell, AHS: Coven.]]>

My Comcast cable bill went up by $26 this month. Part from adding a cable-aware DVR (because Comcast scrambled its channels so my old DVR equipment couldn't pick them up), partly because a promotion ended, partly because rates went up.

Fuck. $136 a month, more than half for the TV.

As I programmed the list of channels into the DVR, I realized that 90% were of no use or interest. I currently record from CArtoon Network (Adventure Time), BBCAmerica (Torchwood, Orchid Black), and Nick (Legend of Korra). I watch Colbert Report and The Daily show (Comedy Central) on the evening repeats. In the summer, I record shows like Mad Men and Warehouse 13. Doctor Who when it runs.

This morning I stuck an indoor aerial in an upstairs window, connected it to the house's coax network, and did a channel scan. 42 channels! A solid plurality were televangelists, spanish language, or spanish language televangelists, but all the big networks were there, in HD.

So. Do I pull the TV plug? I get nice fast cable internet for $60 or so. I already have and really like Netflix. If I get a Hulu subscription, will I be able to get Doctor Who and those other shows? $70 a month would buy lots of rentals.]]>

Also: a lot of cable channels come unscrambled over the same cable as the internet, so if your TV has a tuner you can split the cable to the TV.

That is what started my current frustrations. My home-brew DVR could tune the clear QAMs and record them. Network HD channels for the cost of a standard subscription! My antenna is now feeding those to the DVR.

What really burns me: Comcast's "executive care" support department initially told me that there 'd be no charge for the descrambling card my DVR now needs to get non-broadcast channels. It is actually a legal requirement to provide one! But Comcast charges an "additional outlet fee" for the thing, treating it like a full DVR. $10 a month. Of course, the bastards didn't tell me that until I laid out $120 for a compatible tuner box.

Mmmm. Yes. Other means. I have done such things. Usually just to get episodes I didn't manage to record, but sometimes to get things that you can't find anywhere. Like the Box of Delights, which hasn't been available for decades.]]>

XBMC gives access to various pirate streaming sites such as 1Channel, Icefilms and the like, as well as playing all your local media collection.

I have to admit, I find American Horror Story adorable in it's heavy-handed camp. This season sees Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett going completely over the top, and what the hell, ...
(That said, this season is positively grounded compared to last season's combo of aliens, insane asylum human experimentation, nazis, demonic possession, serial killers and discrimination. That was an incredible coctail, and based on the relatively humdrum first season, I had no idea they might have this in them.)

In other TV tryouts, Orange is the New Black did nothing for me.

I'm sticking with Adventure Time, Parks & Rec and AHS for now.

Oh, I asked about this on a previous TV thread, but that was near to closing: has PoI become something that relies less on the handy solution of shooting at things with guns?]]>

I've said from the pilot, when everybody was making obvious Batman-parallel comments, that the stronger comparison is to The Shadow: a former killer in New York (now with an extensive network of allies taken from those he's saved) with access to a fortune and the power to Cloud Men's Minds (or rather to out-think them).

I totally agree with you on 'The Shadow' side of things, they're pretty clear that Reece has done some horrible, horrible things.Michael Emerson has himself described the show in interviews (non-derogatorily I stress) as 'comic book tv' and the show really seems to me to have captured an essential comic book-ness without compromising to TV Genre norms that many comic book adapted for TV (& long-form TV series in general) fall into.]]>
